She ran to the study table and grabbed a random piece of paper on the table. Then, she turned around and ran down the stairs again.
On New Year's Eve, after Su Zhinian jumped into the lake to save Song Qingchun, he did not warm himself up in time. Instead, he stayed outside in his thin, cold shirt for almost two hours. That night, he caught a cold not long after he fell asleep.
He was worried that something might happen to Song Qingchun, so he went to the hospital to get an IV drip. He even took a double dose of medicine. Perhaps it was because he had been staying at the Song family's house every day, every time he woke up, he would feel better, but at night, his fever would return.
His fever continued to worsen until the night of the third day of Chinese New Year. That night, he took a hot bath and a good night's sleep. When he woke up on the fourth day, he felt much better.
After breakfast, he grabbed his laptop and a few documents and found a café close to the Song family's house. His cold had not fully recovered, and he had only been working for three hours, but he was already exhausted. He had a quick lunch at the café before taking a nap on the sofa.
At around 4 pm, he estimated that Song Qingchun would be leaving for his bungalow, so he packed his stuff and left the café after paying the bill. He was about to get into his car to wait for her when his phone in his pocket rang.
He drove onto the main road before he pulled out his phone. As he looked at the road ahead, he glanced at the screen and was surprised to see a message from Song Qingchun.
Because he was driving, it was a little inconvenient, so he casually replied with a question mark. Then, he saw three consecutive messages from her.
I need to trouble you with one thing …
Su Zhinian stared at the few words, and his hands shook. After a moment, he clicked open Song Qingchun's profile picture. After confirming it was indeed her WeChat message, he was stunned once more.
A shrill honk came from behind his car, startling Su Zhinian out of his reverie.
At the intersection of the road, because he was looking at his phone, the car was very slow. The green light immediately turned red, and the car behind him impatiently urged him to speed up.
He quickly sent another question mark to Song Qingchun before placing his phone on the passenger seat. His hands were on the steering wheel, and he sped past the junction. Then, he picked up his phone and saw Song Qingchun's message. "Tell me first, are you free now?"
This time, he did not reply to her WeChat message. Instead, he called her directly.
After hanging up, he took less than ten minutes to reach the Song family's residential area. He gave Song Qingchun another call, and after hanging up, he opened his WeChat. "I need to trouble you with something …" He read it several times, and it felt like he was dreaming. This was the first time she had actively asked him for help after they parted ways in the third year of high school.
In the past, when he lived in her house, she often said this to him.
"Su Zhinian, can I trouble you to go shopping with me this weekend?"
"Su Zhinian, I need to trouble you with one thing. I can't get a taxi, can you come to Xidan to pick me up?"
"Su Zhinian, on your way home, please take a detour to Nan Luo Gu Alley and bring me a slice of honey cheesecake …"
